For Better or Cursed by Kate Williams

2.0

I liked the first one enough that I borrowed this one super fast once I realized it was out. I wish I never knew about it because honestly - it’s only been a few months since I read The Babysitter’s Coven, but I don’t remember Esme being so “I’m not like other girls” in it the way she was in this one. It’s not quirky to drink iced coffee in the winter and only listen to music from a certain era, and it’s not “lame” to like Christmas or be into mainstream things. The fact that this is still being perpetuated is so frustrating. On top of that, as many already mentioned, the Chik-Fil-A mention was unnecessary and hurtful to a whole audience picking up this series for queer representation. It didn’t add anything to the plot at all so I don’t understand why it was included unless the author was trying to make a point. The plot was okay and Pig is of course the star of the show, so I gave it two stars.
